How much does it cost to build a 2-car garage?

During our record snowfall, my temporary fabric (vinyl?) shed collapsed under the weight of the snow...with the Boxster in it... No apparent permanent damage but I'm still digging the hundreds of pounds of snow out.

Does anyone know how much it costs to have a 2-car garage built? A real one with a concrete floor, framed walls and roof?

The fabric (1-car) shed was only $200 at Costco and has lasted 4 years. So I can't complain about the value.

On the other hand a permanent structure with room for a 2nd car or if not a 2nd car, a workshop, is interesting to me. But I suspect the amount of work is on the order of that needed to build a small house (e.g. foundation, concrete pad, framing, drywall, insulation, roof, one door, electric garage door(s), etc. such that it'll be expensive.
